I've got race files from everyone except dracul104. I've sent him a PM to see what's going on.

Probably still lying in his coffin. You'll have to wait until the sun sets.

So he'll be playing a Super-Stealth PRT race?

Or super-duper-stealth -- even he doesn't know his PRT!

Well, we should probably not wait forever. I say if he does not respond tomorrow, we should just start without him.

Yeah, that's about as long as I was thinking of waiting. I could open the slot back up with a very short window, or we could just start with 15. What do you guys think?

If anyone else send you a race file today or tomorrow, and drac still does not respond, then welcome the new player, if not then start with 15.

Someone has already done so. Once they tell me who they are ( Razz

) we'll be getting started with 16.

The game has been created. I have sent the files to Ron and emailed each player their files for 2400.

It will probably be a while until the game page goes up.

The new player goes by Star Daze on here.

Player numbers are random with the exception that SDs are, as I noted, in first-come-first-served order.

If something is wrong (e.g. you can't upload once the page goes up), email me.

Does it mean there are more than 1 SD in the game?

Yes, of course. And 3 ITs, 1 WM, 1 CA, 2 PP...

Ooops. Did I say to much?

My statement is true. It may or may not be vacuously true.

If there were more than 1 SD races submitted then every player who submitted an SD design except for the first one knows that there is at least one more SD player excluding them (magic9mashroom mentioned in an earlier post that he would share this information with them). If they didn't change their design, they also know that another SD player is ahead of them in the player number. This gives those players a small advantage.

So yes, I expect to hear one of two things:
There were no more than 1 SD designs submitted, OR
There were more than 1 SD design submitted.

Yes, a non-first SD has the advantage of knowing there is at least one other SD.
They have the larger disadvantage of being vulnerable to Exploding Minefield Dodge from at least one other SD.

The above should not be construed as implying anything about whether such players exist.

I don't agree. There is an element of chance in every Stars!-game. Insofar, there will always be players who have a small advantage. But there is no need to reveal anything about the number of players playing a certain PRT.
But anyway, the host calls the shots, and I think he already has.
We should end the discussion.
